Inheritance and innovation, continuation and development

ChuanChuangXiang Is one of the most representative local foods of Chengdu culture and spirit, which emerged on the street market in the late 1980s. Chuan Chuan Xiang is a reform of hot pot since People in Chengdu are fantastically crazy about the fiery fondue-like hot pot which usually goes well with more than 4 patrons. Therefore, the culinary savvy locals transform the style of hot-pot catering to the taste of the petty-bourgeois crowd. Now, smaller-sized plates are served on the table, with varieties of vegetables and meat either being sliced or cut into cubes, and all the choices of foods are on bamboo sticks simmering in the spicy soup. This new form of hot pot can be either enjoyed alone or by a group of people at a time, which meets the demands of the market. As a result, there’s a saying in Chengdu which goes like this: one can not eat hotpot consecutively but one surely can take ChuanChuanXiang for continuous days.

MaoJiaoHuoLa is such a restaurant that keeps the original flavor of ChuanChuanXiang and tries its best to deliver the culture behind the food. With exclusive secret ingredients for the soup stock and a wider span of choices as well as sauces to increase the flavor, MaoJiaoHuoLa has become a popular place to dine with a group of friends. On the basis of the traditional style, this restaurant has developed a series of special dishes on its menu, featured in rabbit heads with diced peanuts, spicy rabbit kidneys, baby potatoes, and so forth, which are the must-order choices on the menu. Today, listed as the TOP Three ChuanChuanXiang restaurant in Chengdu, MaoJiaoHuoLa not only attracts the local food lovers but also welcomes more foreign visitors who would like to experience the very local culture of ChuanChuanXiang there on their bucket list along with pandas and other sizzling Sichuan food.

Since the grand opening in August of 2012, MaoJiaoHuoLa has gained increasing popularity in the market because of its array of specialties and hot and spicy flavors. After the first half a year, the long queue for a table to dine has become a daily phenomenon. Nowadays, the four chain restaurants in Chengdu provide the local food, ChuanChuanXiang, to at least 3000 people per day, among which, MaoJiaoHuoLa in KuiXing Rd. has the best performance. The non-stop prevalence of MaoJiaoHuoLa does not only attract customers to come to enjoy the food but also the media both in domestic and overseas, such as CDTV, SCTV, CCTV, BBC, etc. On May 1st, 2019, the first overseas chain restaurant of MaoJiaoHuoLa has opened in Flushing, New York, USA.
